The non-acoustic segment enjoyed continued growth momentum. Sales grew by 63% against 2Q 2016, accounting for 45% of total sales. Overall gross profit margin improved to 41.8%. Through better control of operating expenses, net profit margin improved 180 basis points to 26.2% compared with the previous quarter. These 3Q results reflected strong performance across the Group and the sustained progress of effective cost control. The Group's strategy, executed over the course of 2016, contributed these results.
During the nine months of 2016, revenue and net profit rose 24% and 17% year-on-year to RMB9,770.3 million and RMB2,455.0 million respectively due to solid growth attained across all major business lines. Sales of dynamic components increased by 30% year-on-year, contributing 57% of total sales. Non-acoustic segment achieved 34% year-on-year sales growth, accounting for 38% of total sales. Overall gross profit margin stabilised at 41.4%, achieved from a new business mix that included important new product lines. The Company achieved a more balanced customer portfolio and generated robust sales from Chinese customers, up 57% year-on-year, and constituting over 40% of total sales. The Company continues to invest in R&D and such expenses increased to 8.4% of sales. Net profit margin achieved in the nine months was 25.1% and basic earnings per share was up 17%. Continued momentum in non-acoustic solutions coupled with the leading technology position of the acoustic business delivered these strong results and a 27.5% annualized return on equity for the nine months of 2016.
Looking ahead, 4Q 2016 is the traditional peak season, driven by higher demand from the Company's diverse customer base. Starting in 2017, a major trend expected to benefit the Company would be an upgrade of acoustics with increasing adoption of speaker boxes, stereo solutions and waterproof features. Meanwhile, consistent enhancement of RF Mechanical, haptics and optics solutions should enable the Company to penetrate new areas more effectively. AAC Technologies will capture the promising market opportunities by bolstering R&D, offering a wider range of innovative products and solutions under our multi-platform business model.
